Questions & Answers
- Question:Do I need to be good at drawing to take this course?Answer:No, not at all. The course is beginner-friendly, and I will guide you step by step. However, it’s also great for advanced artists, as I offer lessons tailored to their level as well.
- Question:What if I make mistakes when drawing with a pen?Answer:We start with the basics using a pencil. Afterward, it’s up to you whether to continue with a pencil or switch to drawing directly with a pen.
- Question:What if my drawings don’t look like yours?Answer:The goal isn’t to replicate my style but to help you discover your own artistic voice while learning my techniques and overall approach.
- Question:What will I learn in this course?Answer:You’ll learn how to draw emotions, capture details, work directly with a pen, apply my hatching technique, use light and shadow effectively, and understand composition and perspective.
- Question:Will you teach us how to use references, like videos or live models?Answer:Yes, I’ll guide you in using both live observations and reference materials like photos and videos.
- Question:What materials will I need?Answer:A thick drawing (or watercolor) paper and an ink pen (I recommend Sakura “Pigma Micron” pens) in sizes ranging from 0.05 to 0.5.

The next session may be around autumn 2025, but I can’t guarantee I’ll guide it personally. So, this might be your only chance to learn directly from me.
